Wonder why the option of a larger tank was discontinued? Would be useful to have that extra capacity.

I’d almost guarantee you’d change your mind if you saw that outdoors and in flat light. The one I looked at just blended in with the surroundings (and I was all set to buy it from the photos).
Even the guy who owned the garage said it just didn’t ’pop’ unless it was in bright sunlight. The fact that car had been on sale for 12 months should give you a clue…

How long since it had been detailed? Any colour looks flat with the usual layer of cack and swirl.
Hyacinth? New car sales, or any airport car park will tell the story: people buy silver, grey and black.
Unsold after three months? It's the price, not the spec.

It had been machine polished very recently so was (to my eyes at least) spotless.
To be fair, they offered me a trade in price on my C63 that was £2k above anyone else and they also knocked off £2k from the price, in an effort to get me to buy.
From memory, it was one of the cheaper cars up on AT in December, sold now by the look of it, which I’m glad about as the guy I dealt with seemed super honest and transparent.

I'm waiting for a trade in valuation from Mercedes for my E63 - hopefully they won't take the micky....

Good luck, I never managed to get as far as getting a valuation for my C63 when I was looking for my E63...

Mercedes called & of course the valuation was way off what I would've wanted - I was offered £13k last week trading in against an Alfa Romeo Giulia QV & Mercedes offered considerably less than than against a 2019 C63s wagon...

They still have it. Reduced by the £2k from earlier adverts.

I was under the impression that it originally came with a 60l tank with an optional upgrade to 80l. But later 80l became standard.
I wish it was 100l as I at best get 340miles form it's 80l one
I'm unclear, regarding capacity but do know there are 2 sizes. Any ideas what year 80l might have become standard?

Not sure if it was an option or just standard.

From memory, I think 60 litre was standard with an 80 litre option in other markets but in the UK the lager fuel tank was standard.

My 2018 shows ‘916 Fuel tank with large volume - volume 1’
so I’d say the larger was the option?

Too many question marks about this one. Passed from one dealer in Bradford area to another and its toppy in price for a 17 plate (IMO) Those wonky exhaust tips get my OCD working overtime too.

Nice looking thing... the exhaust tips are an easy fix. It's not like they are really part of the exhaust like the old ones.... so easily adjusted.

Getting closer though Roger, that is lovely and a colour combination I was considering had I continued to follow the E63s erge.Auto Trader UK - New and Used Cars For Sale

Although (as you know) buying a tuned car and tuning a car yourself are two totally different things.
